How Do I Call 911?

From a home phone or a simple business phone, just dial 9-1-1.
If you are calling from an apartment complex served by a private telephone system, the location information of your individual unit may not display at the 911 Communications Center.

From a Centrex or PBX Business phone extension. You still need to get an outside line (usually by dialing "9") Then dial 9-1-1. Your location information may not accurately display from these phones.

From a cellular phone. Dial 9-1-1, then press "send." Your location information will not display at the 911 Communications Center.

From a TDD/TTY (Telecommunication Device for the Deaf) Dial 9-1-1. After your call is answered, pressing a TTY key several times may help shorten the time necessary to respond to your call. It may take the call-taker a few moments to access their TTY before they cancommunicate with you. Please do not hang up if you do not get an immediate response.
